Seeing him wolf down his food, completely ignoring his own Qing Shi, Wang Yao stood there, stunned.

: "Entity: Jin Min." No Chinese.

: "Listen to what she's been through—rolling in the mud pits is nothing; she's been chased by a great demon, faced alone hundreds of evil spirits, and the most outrageous part is that she actually went to the eight great forbidden lands." No Chinese.

Entity: Forbidden Land.

What place is that? It's the eight most dangerous regions of Dongzhou; otherwise, how could it be called forbidden lands?

Entities: Dongzhou, Xiōngxiǎn, Forbidden Land.

If it weren't for the sect specially organizing it, with a peak master or chief elder leading the team, many disciples of the Dao Yi Sect wouldn't dare to rush in there.

Entities: Sect, Peak Master, Elder, Dao Yi Sect.

"Junior Sister, you............"

Entity: Junior Sister.

He still opened his mouth wanting to say something, but was once again interrupted by Jin Min.

Entity: Jin Min.

"So, from now on, every meal in the dining hall ought to have a share for me, Jin Min; this is what I exchanged my life for."

Entity: Jin Min.

As these words fell, Jin Min formed hand seals, unleashed a technique, and this senior brother was directly blasted away.

Entities: Jin Min, Shī xiōng.

In a short time, Jin Min practically became a different person, and all of this is because of Divine Sword Peak's meals.

Entities: Jin Min, Divine Sword Peak.

During his time away, every time he faced danger, what kept Jin Min going was the food from Divine Sword Peak; just thinking of that big bowl of braised noodles, that big bowl of covered rice, his eyes were full of hope to live.

How could she die? How could she die? She hasn't even eaten the mess hall's food yet.

After the victory, Jin Min's eyes were full of determination as she looked toward the mess hall, toward the still tightly closed courtyard gate.

Not far behind her, the Shī xiōng who had just been blown away and was now stumbling to his feet seemed to see the raging flames burning on Jin Min's body.

This is the obsession in people's hearts; at this moment, it has already completely burned in Jin Min.

"Junior sister!"

With a complex expression, he shouted a sentence: 'For the sake of being able to eat the mess hall's food, have you already come to this point?'

Originally, I couldn't understand why Jin Min suddenly left the sect; even junior brother Ye Changqing's craftsmanship could be abandoned.

But now it seems, I was too naive; junior sister, this is putting oneself in a deadly situation to then survive.

Compared to junior sister, is their daily Xiūliàn considered arduous? Yesterday it seemed perhaps okay, but now looking at it, it's simply too easy.

Junior sister, this is truly a genuine life-and-death tempering; forcing oneself to grow quickly between life and death, being able to achieve this, today's breakfast ought to have a portion for junior sister.

A feeling of admiration arose in his heart, but at the same time there was a hint of unwillingness; watching Jin Min's back as she joined the queue, this Shī xiōng murmured firmly.

"Junior sister can, I can too."
